Description
Notes: The type VII.D U-boats, designed in 1939 and 1940, were a lengthened – by 10 m (32 ft 10 in) – version of the VII.C for use as a minelayer. The mines were carried in, and released from, three banks of five vertical tubes just aft of the conning tower . The extended hull also improved fuel and food storage.
